my grandmother was the most amazing sweetest heart-warming,christian woman. she was my role model and will always be. she was everyones grandmother i remember introducing my friends to her and she would say hi nice to meet you im tommie call me grandma. she loved everyone and never had a single bit of hate or anger against anyone. she loved everyone. she was so full of life and love and had the best personality, she was a 2nd mother to me and i love and appreciate everything shes ever done for me. i couldnt ask for anyone better. i still cant believe shes gone, i love her so much and i cant wait till i get to see her again.

Thank you all for sharing momories of my "mom". I know Grandaddy was getting tired of waiting on her! Im sure he asked her what took so long?! and if I know Grandma she told him "Gene I had to take care of these grandchildren"! But they are finally togather forever. Thier lives were truely something that most of us could only dream about and thier love was eternal. Im sure they are enjoying the beauty of heaven together and grandaddy is showing her all the sights! I feel so blessed to have had them as my parents and will look foreward to the day that hopefully they will be there waiting on me! Always their loving daughter, Dawn

My prayers are with all of Miss Tommie's family. She is a dear and sweet woman. Definitely, "one of a kind". She always has a smile on her face and a kind word to say. I'm sure everyone is so happy to see her in Heaven. May God bring peace and comfort to all of you who are left here to mourn the loss of such a wonderful person. May you carry her memories and her legacy with you always. I know I am blessed to have known Miss Tommie for just a season in my life. Thank you all for sharing her with us at Preston Oaks Baptist Church.

Tommie Baird was a very special person. I will always remember what a wonderful job she did in raising several of her grandchildren, most especially my nephew, Chuck. She was a beautiful and gracious woman, and her grandchildren are a testament to her grace and character. God bless you, Tommie.

My husband, Perry Smart worked with Gene Baird. We became close friends with Gene and Tommie. Tommie even cared for my daughter several times while I worked. We really enjoyed their company and visiting. Gene and Perry did a lot of fishing together. Perry was working
for Durham Life at that time. We were transferred to Georgia, then Florida, back to Petersburg, Va. and retired on beautiful Lake Gaston. Both of us love to fish so we had many good retirement years. Perry passed away 5 years ago come March. Perry was 80 then.
I check the Roanoke Times on the internet every week. Tommie was 10 years older than me but we enjoyed each others company.
You have my deepest Sympathy.
Thelma Taylor Smart.
